There are times on Florida State's practice fields when it seems Bert Reed only stops smiling to talk. Or maybe he only stops talking to smile.

"He's the only guy I've ever seen that talks on a pass route," Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden said with a laugh.

Of course, Reed has plenty to talk and smile about these days. He is the leading receiver on one of the hottest offenses in college football. He scored the game-winning touchdown in Florida State's 45-42 victory against N.C. State last Saturday. And as one of the ACC's leaders in both receptions and yards per game, he has a chance to earn postseason honors.
